Joy, enthusiasm, energy — this is what emanates from even a brief interaction with Dennis LaJeunesse, longtime nanoscience professor at the Joint School of Nanoscience and Nanoengineering (JSNN). As he concludes a 26-year career at the University, he seems thrilled to mentor JSNN graduate students, support innovative research, and collaborate with colleagues as if it… Continue reading…
Assistant professor of nanoscience Kerui Wu has received a grant from NCInnovation to advance his work on targeted treatments for inflammation with fewer harsh side effects. Many chronic diseases—like arthritis, heart disease, and autoimmune disorders—are driven by inflammation deep inside the body. But today’s anti-inflammatory drugs often affect the whole system, leading to side effects… Continue reading…
The Joint School of Nanoscience and Nanoengineering at UNC Greensboro welcomed three new nanoscience faculty this fall, all of whom are first-time professors with unique research expertise. Whether building biological computers to progress medical diagnosis, creating computational devices to better fight cancer, or improving materials to make AI more efficient,… Continue reading…
